Conky Joe: ‘The Don Shula Show, Super Bowl VIII, January 14, 1974’

“Back to back Super Bowl wins. Joe Croghan hosts. Assistant Coach Bill Arnsparger guests with Head Coach Don Shula. The only copy in existence.”

From Conky Joe

Obviously a Miami Dolphins local TV show with the so-called host of it not there to ask Head Coach Don Shula any tough or critical questions. But having said that, forget about the score of Super 8 between the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, 23-7. The game looked like a 28-0 or 35-10 game, where one team could basically did everything they wanted to do on offense and dominate the first half. And play keep away in the second half, as well as shut down the other team’s offense in the first half at least.

Sometimes the final score in football games are misleading. Because you could have one team dominate the other really badly without the score indicating that. And making the game look a lot closer than it actually was. Which is what the Dolphins did, completely dominate the Vikings in Super Bowl 8 to the point that the Vikings were never actually in the football game with a real chance of winning. The Vikings fell behind early and never got into the game.
